Yawning of the Dawn

It comes all dressed in purple hues A morning tiptoes into dawn Watch how light glitters from the hem This day that stretches with a yawn Soon these moments fade to blue Sweet dawn turns pink about the rim This day that stretches with a yawn Across the sky when light begins This day that stretches with a yawn Will bring a sun that's red and gold The face of nature's blushing skin With pastel colors day unfolds To stand as witness to the dew The morning springs alive within This day that stretches with a yawn Makes all the world brand new again As day warms bright in morning's sun I'll wait to hear the rooster's song I'll drink my coffee, smile, drink in This day that stretches with a yawn
